The theme: Surviving to Thriving

Very often we are stuck in survival mode and struggling to work out how to really thrive in this life. One way does not work for all. We have brought together 3 women who all have unique and amazing stories to join us on a panel session, facilitated by Tulsi van de Graaff. We aim with your help and questions to extract learnings from these women and to walk away with tools that will help us in our lives.

Magdalena moved to Australia from Poland in 2002, with no networks and no job. She worked hard to establish herself in Sydney and now holds the position of Chief Financial Officer at Holman Webb Lawyers. She now has over 15 years’ of financial management experience and expertise, gained predominately from senior management roles within consultancy environments, professional services and corporate business. She is widely recognised for her thought leadership and wise counsel.

Janine started 100Mums 5 years ago after struggling to juggle full time work and being a single mother with restrictive childcare. 100Mums now has a resource pool of over 5000 highly skilled women and she has helped organisations across banking, infrastructure, technology and defence to increase gender balance in their mid-level to senior roles.

Jennifer Elliot, CEO - Integrity and ValuesJennifer is a woman of mixed race who was born in South Africa during the apartheid regime. Following the courageous example her parents showed in their lives, Jennifer emigrated on her own to Australia when just a teenager. Jennifer is now the CEO of Integrity and Values and is viewed as one of Australia’s leading authorities on executive leadership and organisational change.

Tulsi van de Graaff is a former lawyer with a psychology background and an experienced management consultant, workplace trainer, facilitator, presenter and coach. She is the founder of Lead Your Own Change and for over 7 years has been working with individuals, teams and organisations to solve their communication and conflict challenges, develop emotional intelligence and resilience and create positive personal and cultural change. Previously she worked at the Australian Human Rights Commission investigating and mediating race and sex discrimination complaints, as a child protection investigator and as a pre-marriage counsellor and educator.

Why create a networking opportunity especially for women?

Our research suggests that women are falling behind when it comes to networking. Of course a number of different factors come into play - childcare issues, business commitments and other responsibilities and even feeling intimidated by typical networking events. Our events are networking with a difference. It’s about meeting like-minded women and learning from each other through the sharing of skills, knowledge, challenges and inspiration and having some fun while we do it.

About Us

The CBD Sydney Chamber in association with 100Mums created the CBD Women in Business Network as a way for women in business to come together to meet, learn and inspire each other.

The CBD Sydney Business Chamber connects, engages and supports business and business people - especially those who own, manage and influence the direction of small to medium sized businesses. 100Mums works with companies to achieve gender balance by providing access to a pool of talented women.

Collectively, our aim is to support women in business to do the best they can.

* The offer is only available to non-CBD Sydney Chamber members prior to October 3, 2017.
